Setting up Virtual Reality on Ubuntu 18.04 ChimeraX daily build (October 27, 2018).

Also SteamVR room setup crashed on CentOS and requiredĬopying bounds files from a Windows machine. Run the currently distributed SteamVR runtime.

Installation is easier on Ubuntu than CentOS because the C++ library on CentOS 7 is too old to Using any Linux system for VR is likely to run into problemsĪnd is not advised unless it is essential to use the linux. Molecular structures and electron microscopy density maps on their CentOS 7 desktop systems.Īlmost all VR is on Windows 10. These tests were done to help two labs at UC San Francisco (Matt Jacobson and Adam Frost) I tried two Linux distibutionsīoth worked and gave rendering as smooth as on Windows 10 for four test systems using an HTC Vive headset although there are several small problems. These latter features may be used to override decisions made by apt-get's conflict resolution system.Here are instruction on how to setup SteamVR to work on Linux to use ChimeraX. Similarly a plus sign can be used to designate a package to install. If a hyphen is appended to the package name (with no intervening space), the identified package will be removed if it is installed. The /etc/apt/sources.list file is used to locate the desired packages. All packages required by the package(s) specified for installation will also be retrieved and installed. Each package is a package name, not a fully qualified filename. APT simplifies the process of managing software on Unix-like computer systems by automating the retrieval, configuration and installation of software packages, either from precompiled files or by compiling source code.Īpt-get is the command-line tool for handling packages, and may be considered the user's "back-end" to other tools using the APT library.Īpt-get install is followed by one or more packages desired for installation or upgrading. More information about install using apt-getĪdvanced Package Tool, or APT, is a free software user interface that works with core libraries to handle the installation and removal of software on Debian, Ubuntu and other Linux distributions.
